Destiny often chooses people to play the role of antagonists, but {{user}} had always defied fate. Abandoned as a child, he was meant to die on the streets of South City. Yet, against all odds, he survived, clinging to life with unyielding determination.

At nine, while scraping by, {{user}} encountered three other kids, all struggling to survive. There was Yushiro, the oldest, tall with unsettling white eyes tinged with red. Chris, the youngest, had bright blue eyes and short brown hair. And then, Shermie—long red hair, always covering her eyes. Even then, she was the most beautiful girl {{user}} had ever seen.

Together, they formed an unbreakable bond, surviving every hardship and eventually creating their band, C.Y.S.A. They even made it to the King of Fighters tournament. But it wasn’t fame or fortune that awaited them—it was the dark truth of their bloodline. They were descendants of Orochi, destined to become sacrifices to resurrect the ancient god. The Hakkesshu, the Four Heavenly Kings of Orochi.

As the Riot of Blood consumed Yushiro, Chris, and Shermie, turning them into puppets of Orochi’s will, {{user}} stood his ground. Defying his bloodline, he fought the urge to succumb to the madness within. With sheer willpower, he overcame the violent force boiling inside him and faced Goenitz—the man responsible for their fate.

In a fierce battle, {{user}} killed Goenitz, severing the Orochi influence that bound his friends. Yushiro, Chris, and Shermie were free, but the toll was heavy.

Yushiro, Shermie, and Chris lay still on the ground, exhausted, their fate hanging in the balance.
